I keep getting redirected every other time I come onto ANN (my weekly traffic is somewhere between 3-6 times a week). Since I only discovered this thread today I'll start by posting the ad that redirected me today.

It's a little complicated, but we'll look your IP up in the logs and see what network ads you're seeing. I'll use the IP used to make this post, let me know if you're using more than one computer (dynamic IP isn't much of a problem as long as you aren't clearing your cookies every visit).

As I stated in my post it had locked up my PC so I rebooted it. No chance to look at network.

Today it happened again. A synthesized human female voice told my computer was going to be damaged by a virus if I did not call in 30min. It locked my web page focus to their web page. Every time I clicked away it popped back up to front and started it's threat dialogue again. I had a screen cap capability on my video card so I used it and rebooted my PC. I am using another computer to make this post from the same shared IP. I have a image if you get me a email address I can send it to you since no image upping to this board directly it seems..[/img]

I apologize for the double-post, but I'm starting to wonder if I'm the only one seeing these ads, because I'd expect there to be other people complaining if so. I mean here's direct evidence of what I'm seeing (feel free to ignore the terrible political attack ad content):

And it's like this for not only every article page I'm reading, but even the forums themselves. I'm not really sure why I haven't yet told the add-on-which-not-be-named to do a blanket block for the entire site, because it's an utter mess right now.

Over the past week I've been coming across spam redirect ads after a few minutes of being on the website. Attached is a screencap that I was able to catch on the most recent incident on Dec 8, 2018 around 10:30pm Eastern. Link: [img]https://imgur.com/a/FQDOpEO[/img][/img]
